Write code with real-time solar flare data in Cursor

`get_solar_flares` feeds real-time solar flare class data directly to your Cursor agent while you write tracking software. This means your editor generates code based on live physical parameters, not placeholders. No more hardcoding mock responses for your aerospace applications. The AI pulls actual begin, peak, and end times to build and test your calculations on the spot.

Correlate CMEs and interplanetary shocks

`get_cme` pulls active coronal mass ejection data into your Cursor composer window. You can build predictive models by feeding this telemetry directly to your coding agent. Combine this with `get_interplanetary_shocks` to map out the shock waves preceding geomagnetic storms. This MCP Server helps your agent write the parsing logic using actual solar wind velocity vectors.

Evaluate radiation risks inside your IDE

`get_solar_energetic_particles` checks for high-energy proton events that threaten satellite hardware. Having this tool inside your editor lets you write automated safety routines with authentic data. Use `get_geomagnetic_storms` alongside `get_radiation_belt` to test how your software handles high Kp-index conditions. Your agent can instantly run simulations using the actual state of the magnetosphere.

Setup guide

Set up NASA DONKI — Space Weather Intelligence MCP in Cursor

Prerequisites

Cursor installed (macOS, Windows, or Linux)
Active Vinkius subscription with a valid endpoint token

1

Open MCP Settings

Go to Cursor Settings → MCP or open the Command Palette (Cmd+Shift+P / Ctrl+Shift+P) and search for "MCP: Add Server".
2

Add the NASA DONKI — Space Weather Intelligence MCP

Cursor will create or open .cursor/mcp.json in your project root. Paste the JSON snippet on the right. Replace [YOUR_TOKEN_HERE] with your endpoint token from cloud.vinkius.com.
3

Enable Agent mode

Open Composer (Cmd+I / Ctrl+I) and switch to Agent mode using the dropdown at the top. MCP tools are only available in Agent mode.
4

Verify the connection

Ask Cursor something like "List my recent NASA DONKI — Space Weather Intelligence transactions." If the MCP tools are loaded correctly, Cursor will call the NASA DONKI — Space Weather Intelligence tools automatically. You can also check Settings → MCP for a green status indicator.

Common questions about NASA DONKI — Space Weather Intelligence MCP in Cursor

Add the server configuration to your global or project-specific MCP configuration file in Cursor. Once saved, enable Agent mode in the chat panel to let the AI call the tools.

Yes, your Cursor agent can run the flare or CME tools to grab live telemetry. It then uses those exact payloads to generate realistic unit tests for your system.

It gives your Cursor agent direct access to live endpoints like the notification feed. The agent can write, debug, and run code that processes real NASA alerts in real time.

No. The Vinkius platform manages the API infrastructure and rate limits behind the scenes. Your editor just makes standard MCP calls without worrying about hitting NASA's keys.

Your search parameters and date ranges are sent securely to NASA's public servers. Vinkius runs this MCP Server in an ephemeral sandbox, meaning your code and queries are wiped as soon as the execution finishes.
